Bollywood and the monsoon have shared a decades-long love affair. From Raj Kapoor and Nargis huddled underneath an umbrella in Pyar Hua Ikrar Hua (Shree 420, 1955) to Sridevi’s unforgettable chiffon sari second in Mr. India, rain songs have been a timeless staple—combining flirtation, drama, and pure cinematic magic.

Now, many years later, her daughter Janhvi Kapoor is getting into these rain-soaked sneakers with Bheegi Saree, the newest monitor from Param Sundari. The upbeat, flirty quantity pairs Janhvi with Sidharth Malhotra, and the 2 set the display screen ablaze with monsoon romance, draped in moist saris, drenched hair, and electrical chemistry.

Launched by Maddock Movies and Common Music India, it follows the softer Pardesiya with a extra upbeat, danceable quantity. Composed by Sachin-Jigar with lyrics by Amitabh Bhattacharya, Bheegi Saree is sung by Adnan Sami—marking his return to Hindi movie playback—and Shreya Ghoshal. The pair carry contrasting textures to the monitor, with Adnan describing it as “a deliciously flirtatious, playful, and romantic concoction that’s equal elements nostalgic and hip,” whereas Shreya calls rain “the key ingredient” in Bollywood romance.

Rain songs have developed in type over the many years. Within the Nineties, Tip Tip Barsa Paani from Mohra (1994) pushed the style right into a bolder house, with Raveena Tandon’s yellow sari and Akshay Kumar’s intense display screen presence making a sequence that continues to be one among Bollywood’s most remembered rain numbers. Earlier nonetheless, Zeenat Aman and Rajesh Khanna’s Bheegi Bheegi Raaton Mein (Ajnabee, 1974) introduced a sultrier, slower-paced romance to the display screen, counting on shut digital camera work and lingering melodies.

Whereas types and presentation have modified—from the harmless playfulness of the Fifties to the extra stylised and choreographed sequences of latest years—the rain track has remained a fixture of Hindi cinema. Bheegi Saree, with its modern sound and nod to custom, provides one other entry to this enduring filmic custom.
